Here are some more information for Chevy Chrome Crankshaft:

The 1968 Chevy Camaro is part of the first generation of these "pony" cars created to give competition to the Ford Mustang. The car is based off of GM's "F" body platform as a rear wheel drive vehicle. The aim was to provide multiple body styles and drive trains so that the vehicle would appeal to a wide variety of customers. Compared with the '67 Camaro, the '68 model was slightly enhanced and saw the addition of multiple features. Some very important upgrades and overhauls were completed on the suspension system, taking care of the few drivability problems of the original model.

Trim packages offered include the RS, SS and Z28 with either a convertible or coupe body style. RS models were designed mostly with aesthetics in mind and came with different taillights, inlayed headlamps as to hide them during the daytime, exterior rocker trim and a special set of RS emblems making the vehicle even more unique. All SS models came equipped with a 350 cubic inch, 5.7 liter V8 engine, or as an upgrade the 6.5 liter V8 big block L35 (396 cu in) engine. Additional features of SS models include air inlets mounted on the hood, unique SS emblems and striping, along with enhanced grilles. It is important to note that consumers could order a Camaro with both the RS and SS trim levels making it a RS/SS. Also manufactured was an Indianapolis 500 model based off the SS package.

Z28 models were designed as the "race ready" package and offered optimum performance. Unique to these models were the implementation of power front disc brakes and a special 4 speed manual transmission. The standard engine was a 4.9 liter small block V8 with an aluminum intake manifold, a 3 inch crankshaft with a 4 inch bore, along with a 4 barrel secondary Holley carburetor. The purpose of the smaller engine on these models was to meet special Trans Am Series specifications. Z28 model engines were capable of up to 290 horsepower at 5300 RPM. Additional features of these models include enhances suspension systems, unique fenders and racing stripes.

The 1968 Chevy Camaro also saw the addition of the new "Astro Ventilation" system which allowed for the intake of fresh air. Side market lights on the front, front spoilers, and divided taillights in the rear were also standard equipment. SS models could be equipped with chrome hood inserts. To resolve drivability issues the shock absorbers were staggered to prevent the wheels from hopping. The standard transmission for all models was a 3 speed manual with either a 4 speed manual being optional for all.

On the interior most of the vehicle was left untouched. The side ventilation windows were removed however for both convertible and coupe models. Customers had very few choices for interior fabrics which were mostly either leather or vinyl in dark colors. Basic stereo systems were also standard equipment, as the vehicle was more designed for power than anything else.

Today the 1968 Chevy Camaro is one of the most popular cars for enthusiasts. The elimination of the original model year's comfort and driving problems makes these very refined for the amount of power offered under the hood. It is very possible for consumers to find one of these cars in fair shape, or rebuild from the ground up.

More Torque Needed out of my 350 Block. Please Help!!?

Not ready to buy a new big block engine but willing to invest a little money into my engine for some added power

I have a 68 Chevy Impala Coupe w/ a 350 4bolt main block. It currently have a 20,000 miles on a rebuilt engine and 350 Turbo Tran. Purchase the budget rebuild kit from Summit Racing. It has a 750 Holley Carb, Edelbrock Gap intake, block and heads are from a 71 Impala and has an Accel Racing Distributor. I also got some chrome hugger style headers that are uninstalled. 10 Bolt rear aswell

Summit Racing I am looking for more Torque and HP for the 350 Block. 1 Guy recommend a Summit Cam and lifters kit (SUM-K1103) and a 2400 B&M Torque Converter. So I purchase it

A local Machine shop said I can put a 400 Crankshaft and Balancer in there with the above summit recommends and it should improve the torque noticeably.

So should I go with the machine shop guy recommend or just what summit said. Or what would you recommend? My Budget is $1000 now in parts ONLY.

Making a 383 (400 crank) will be harder than just putting it in.

To build a 383, engine has to come all a part, back to just bare block.

Crank fitted in (if 400 crank used, then crank machined to fit 350 block)

bottom of a few cyl ground for clearance, oil pan rail on block ground for clearance

Rod bolt shoulders ground down for clearance

383 pistons bought and installed on rods (can't use your 350 pistons)

You don't really need a 383 to gain torque. I have a 355 in my camaro thats got enough torque to pull the front wheels off ground on launch (runs 11.40's @ 118mph at track with a 1.60's 60' time, 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds)

what CC is your heads? I'm betting they are large cc and killing your compression off.

to get the torque out of it, bump compression up to 10:1, install a 2800 stall converter, then installed a cam to match compression (216/228* @.050" or so), and 3.42 or 3.73 rear gears.

Look up under valve covers and get me the head casting #, and i'll tell you what they are and what needs to be done

The summit budget kit is a pretty good one, hyper flat top pistons, 9.35:1 compression with 64 cc heads..

But depending on your head cc you could have 8:1 to 10:1

You will need 62-64cc heads to get good compression and good torque

Slusser Grand Prix
His card says Bob-B-Buick, and he has a really quick Buick Grand National V6 in his garage, but right beside the Buick sits a freshly restored 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix.“I’ve been drag racing and driving Buicks for years; I love them,” explained Bob Slusser. “But this ’70 Pontiac Grand Prix, well, I bought it in 1976, my senior year of high school, and I’ve had it ever since. It was a daily driver ...
